HYUNDAI I20 SE CONNECT MHEV T-GDI2022 · 1.0L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The vehicle currently holds a clean bill of health following its most recent MOT on 1 April 2026 at 41,458 miles. This pass, issued with zero recorded defects or advisories, indicates a stable and positive maintenance trend. While the vehicle failed its initial inspection on 31 March 2025, the immediate retest on the same day resulted in a pass with no defects, suggesting the initial failure was likely a clerical error or a minor, easily rectified issue rather than a sign of systemic mechanical neglect. The recorded mileage of 41,458 miles over a four-year period aligns with standard usage patterns for a modern supermini. Accumulating approximately 11,134 miles between the March 2025 and April 2026 tests shows consistent, regular use rather than long-term storage or excessive motorway commuting. This usage profile is generally favourable for the mild-hybrid powertrain, as it avoids the potential battery degradation associated with prolonged inactivity while keeping overall wear on drivetrain components within expected limits for the age of the car. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the brake discs and pads, as these consumables are reaching a mileage threshold where replacement often becomes necessary. Although the MOT history is clean, check the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of premature wear or road salt corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been driven in coastal or high-moisture regions. Verify that the mild-hybrid system displays no warning lights during a cold start and that the stop-start functionality engages smoothly, as these electronic systems are integral to the vehicle's efficiency and are not always fully interrogated during a standard MOT test.
